I hope to be able to do an invisibility/cloak shader effect like the camouflage in Halo games or the invisibility in Predator movies I watched the 4th tutorial ahead of time and so far it seems to be very high quality :)
That particular effect won't be covered, but can probably be done with everything you'll learn in these tutorials. Thevideos are more about teaching specific functions and features of shaders than showing all possible cool effects since there's so many things you can do with shaders :) So I hope by lesson 20 you're all set for whatever 2D shader you want to create :)
I just found this series, but will the code work in GMS1? I know the base project is for GMS2, but can the shader code itself work in GMS1? Shaders are an area that I basically have no knowledge of and this series looks great, but as I don't have GMS2, I don't know if I should bother.
The shader code will work in GM:S 1.2 or newer. Nearly all code in the scripts or objects work as well. Just some functions and the way I build arrays are different. The main draw back when doing this series in GM:S 1 is not being able to use the base project. It'll be more time consuming to set up test environements and sometimes it might be a little bit difficult to tell what code is needed to run the shader and what code is needed for the base project. However if you're quite experienced with GMS already, you should be able to follow along and in any case you will learn more about shaders even if you just watch the videos. Viedo 1 & 2 are useful anyways and a good starting point. Maybe then also watch video 6: duotoning and if you can follow along, you'll be fine.
Thanks for the informative reply. I'll watch some more (1, 2, 6 and a couple others) and see how I get on. I'm fairly experienced in GMS itself, just not shaders.
Hate to be that guy but "variable" is not pronounced like "ver-AI-able", it's pronounced like "VER-ee-able", emphasis on the "var" part where the a is actually pronounced like the e in "red", and the i is pronounced like an i in most non-english languages, like the "ee" in "free".
This tutorial series is incredible. Do yourself a favor and watch all the videos. They're comprehensive, well paced and so helpful.
Thanks for linking my tutorial blog. It's appreciated!
Thanks to you for that tutorial blog. It's one of the very few good sources that helpedme get started with shaders.
You've got some of the best GM content on youtube. I hope you get some decent compensation for this.
Thank you for slowing down and providing so much detail. This is an incredibly helpful series.
Thanks a lot - glad to hear you like the series :)
Great stuff there, can't thank you enough man.
Excellent work, thank you! I'm gonna have fun with this :)
Glad you like it so far. After the two introductions, the most boring part is done :)
Great tutorial and great references, thank you!
Thank you so much!!! Great tutorial series! :)
This tutorial is awesome. I've learned a lot I haven't learned from other tutorials here!
Thank you :)

Great tutorial series! I love it :D
Thank you. Nice to hear :)
You kind of sound like Jemaine Clement of Flight of the Conchords :D
Ya ví el viedo, ahora tendré que aprender inglés 😅
This dude sounds exactly like Al from 2001: A Space Odyssey!!!

Can you read me a story, please? I love your voice. 🥺

Speed 1.25, Enjoy.

Difficult to understand without diagrams in each concept of coding.

Thx. I learned that later as well, tried to think of it and did that mistake several times still though :)
